Version 1

This 20-minute meal comes together with only a few key (and affordable!) ingredients:

INGREDIENTS

• 225 g dry pasta
• 200 g of cherry tomatoes, cut in half 
• 2 garlic cloves, minced 
• 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced

• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes 
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 1/4 cup pasta sauce of choice
• 2 1/2 cups water
• 3 ounces fresh spinach

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add the uncooked pasta to a large pot. Add the remaining ingredients – except for the spinach – and mix well. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat.
